Various obesity processes aim to eliminate obesity, prevent the risk of obesity, or treat diseases associated with being overweight, obesity is a silent killer that infiltrates our lives, the problem of obesity exacerbates to affect our confidence in ourselves, even our professional, emotional and social success, and our choices in our clothing and appearance. The most important obesity processes are
Gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, Botox, stomach balloon.
it is a surgical procedure that uses many different techniques to achieve one goal which is losing weight for those who suffer from overweight and high BMI
You may need to have various lab tests and exams before surgery. The most important thing before the surgery is the DIET.
In obese people, there’s almost always fat accumulation around the liver, which makes it enlarge making the surgery harder for the surgeon and riskier for the patient. This is why a strict diet should be started 2 weeks before the surgery. You’ll have to cut down carbs and sweets, then 2 days before the surgery, you’ll depend on a liquid diet only (this includes a protein shake to give you energy). Note that caffeinated and carbonated beverages should be avoided
Another crucial step you should be aware of is you should stop smoking at least 4 weeks before the surgery or else it would be cancelled.
- Gastric bypass: Gastric bypass surgery is a type of bariatric, or weight loss, surgery. Gastric bypass surgery involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting the newly created pouch directly to the small intestine. This means it takes less food to make you feel full and you’ll absorb fewer calories from the food you eat.
Advantages of this procedure:
- Weight loss starts from the time of surgery and can be rapid within the first 6 months.
- You can expect to lose roughly 70 – 80 percent of your excess weight within 2 years.
- In most cases, further surgery is not required.
- Patients report decreased hunger and appetite due to hormonal changes.
- Has the highest and fastest remission rate for diabetes (type 2)
- Sleeve gastrectomy: In this surgery, the surgeon removes a large portion of the stomach (proximally 80%) along the greater curvature (the funds) leaving the stomach shaped like a tube.
The size of the stomach is greatly reduced, restricting the amount of food the patient can eat and making him lose weight. Another effect is that a degree of malabsorption may happen after the surgery which also helps in the weight loss process. The hunger will also decrease as the funds secrete the “ghrelin “hormone which is responsible for feeling hungry.
These two procedures are both very popular, successful and more importantly non-surgical which means less invasive than the other obesity operations. They are both done under local anaesthesia (gastric BOTOX can be done with no sedation) and with an endoscope.
Side effects in gastric BOTOX are very rare, whereas in a gastric balloon there might be nausea and vomiting for three days after the procedure.
- Gastric Botox injection: gastric Botox which is injected by endoscopy relaxes the stomach muscles, causing them to contract less, and that will lead to feeling full for a longer time thus eating less and helping you lose weight!
It is a minimally invasive procedure that takes about 20 minutes
It can be done in the clinic; it doesn’t need a hospital stay as you can go home after the procedure and most of them can resume their activities the day after.
the effect period of the gastric Botox injection is 4 – 5 months then you can repeat the procedure if needed
This procedure is ideal for patients aiming to lose 10-15 Kgs of their weight. - Gastric balloon: If you are looking for an affordable, quick, nonsurgical procedure without any incisions, stitches or scars, a gastric balloon could be your answer to weight loss.
A gastric balloon is an inflatable silicone balloon that is inserted into your stomach. it is a non-surgical intervention to occupy space and limit the food carrying capacity of the stomach. This makes you feel full sooner and limits your intake to smaller portions. The procedure is temporary and the balloon is usually removed after 6 months.
Overall, gastric balloon treatment can significantly reduce your portion sizes and help you reach your long-term weight loss goals.
Medications are administered for your comfort during the surgical procedure Which might be intravenous sedation or general anaesthesia. Your doctor will recommend the best choice for you.
The next step will be the placement of incisions depending on the technique used. Some weight-loss surgeries are done with traditional large, or open, incisions in your abdomen.
Today, most types of bariatric surgery are performed laparoscopically. this means your recovery is faster and shorter
The incisions will be as hidden as possible and along the natural folds of the body
Finally, the surgeon will use tissue glue, sutures or staples to close the incisions.
